Description

Cover art created for a board game called &quot Blue Max&quot . The Red Baron was never shot down, but he died after being shot by a single .303 bullet. It entered from below the aircraft, through his ribs, through the heart, and the bullet had then just enough energy left to leave his torso and was found later inside his tunic. He remained alive to land the aircraft intact, and died virtually after the landing. THe shot was not from an aircraft, although a couple of allied countries tried to claim his death as an aerial victory by one of their own pilots.
